The window went in yesterday! Construction is ALMOST done! In fact it should be finished up today for the most part. Very Happy

Definitely going to need to invest in some UV filters for the window and some curtains. It's a LOT brighter down there now.

Long over due bump to this thread. Smile

I've gone almost the entire summer without having any time to mess around in my display room. So finally, on Friday evening, I decided now was as good as time as any to get things moving in the right direction. I set up my loose figures in their case again! It was a treat to finally pull some stuff out of storage. Here's a pic of my loose case and if you look to the left of it, you can see what the new wall color is going to be! Very Happy



While I was down there, I moved around some furniture and decided to take a couple of quick pics to show you all the progress and compare to them to the before pics.

This is the north wall of the display room.

AFTER:




Here is the west wall. The before pic is really old. In fact it's one of the first pics I took right after we moved in. But it really didn't change that much (outside from being cleaned up) from this photo. Very Happy

I've got big plans for the room. It may not look like much now, but there's a lot of ideas rolling around in my head. It was just nice to start getting some things back in there.

Very nice Chris! I'm sure it was great to get your loose collection back up on display. Are those lights up at the top of the case? Just curious as to what you used as I haven't added anything like that to mine yet.

It looks like you've had your work cut out for you. I'm sure the display will be even better than before once its all finished.

Chris
What an exciting project setting up your own VSW room I could think of some great ideas if I had one but got to be satisfied with this little study which apparently I am lucky to have lol!
Look forward to the updates

Yes, those are lights on the top of the case. I picked them up at Lowe's. They work great, although, I think I may need another one in there, to help brighten things up a bit.

I looked online at Lowes.com and couldn't find the EXACT ones I got. However, these are pretty close: LED Lights

Basically it's these with a whole block of lights instead of two per fixture. What I like about them is they cast a nice yellow hue light. Instead of the harsh white that LED's usually have.
